The Best Trailer I've Ever Seen Enter the AD-FREE zone

No, I'm not talking about tractor-trailer's.

This is a new movie called Red Eye. If you don't know anything about the movie, watch the trailer.

It might be the best trailer I've ever seen at grabbing the prospective movie-goer I've seen.

Tired of ads?

This movie looks like it is going to suck.

spoiler(highlight to read):

Lisa Reisert (Rachel McAdams) hates to fly, but the terror that awaits her on the night flight to Miami has nothing to do with a fear of flying.

Moments after takeoff, Lisa’s seatmate, Jackson (Cillian Murphy), menacingly reveals the real reason he’s on board: He is an operative in a plot to kill a rich and powerful businessman…and Lisa is the key to its success. If she refuses to cooperate, her own father will be killed by an assassin awaiting a call from Jackson.

Trapped within the confines of a jet at 30,000 feet, Lisa has nowhere to run and no way to summon help without endangering her father, her fellow passengers and her own life. As the miles tick by, Lisa knows she is running out of time as she desperately looks for a way to thwart her ruthless captor and stop a terrible murder.

I guess, it does take Trailers back to being teasers instead of a synopsis of the whole movie.

The Red eye trailer is a good one, but there are many I have liked far more.

Of all the trailers for the HItchikers Guide I have seen that one is my least favorite.

I am a sucker for big, grandiose movie trailers-why I like the Kingdom of Heaven trailer, thought the cutting a a bit too frantic- I don;t like it when they jump from image to image like a kid with ADD on meth:

http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/kingdom_of_heaven/

I must say thought the international trailer for the movie sucks ass

http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/k.../international/

A nice way of showing how the use of sound and emphasis changes a trailer significantly.

The Trailers for "Toys" with Robin Williams were good. They did all on a sound stage, and on the DVD (which maybe only I own) they have all of the trailers and you it is interesting to analyze each of them, for while they were done on the same sound stage the lighting, sound, etc are different... rather neat.

Toys however, was a big let down. I still liked it.

I have set a rule to myself:

Unless I'm 100% sure that I'm going to watch the movie I wont watch the trailer (this alone make trailers useless). The reason is trailers doesn't show anything about the movie
The worst trailer I've ever seen was to The Village. I saw the trailer after wasting my time watching the movie. As I started watching the trailer (having no idea what movie it was showing) I thought to myself "Wow, that movie looks interesting", but halfway through I noticed the scenes looked familiar and soon realized that I just saw the movie a few weeks earlier and me and my friends (who I watched the movie with) all thought this was the most boring movie ever... only the plot twist at the end was interesting... the trailer and the movie had nothing incommon

Looking at the trailers, they just put up one for Bewitched, and I must say it was not what I expected- I expetced simply a [terrible] remake of the original sotry, but the new story is actually a weird take on it. Might actually be worth seeing for cheap in a second run theater.

The Village was dumb... The first scene gave it away, when the fence around the graveyard was made of rusted rebarb. Yeah, I bet they made fences out of molded SS in the 1800s!
